Trust in the Lord

“Then he sat down near the offering box, watching all the people dropping in their coins. Many of the rich would put in very large sums, but a destitute widow walked up and dropped in two small copper coins, worth less than a penny. Jesus called his disciples to gather around and then said to them, “I tell you the truth, this poor widow has given a larger offering than any of the wealthy. For the rich only gave out of their surplus, but she sacrificed out of her poverty and gave to God all that she had to live on, which was everything she had.” Mark 12:41-44

“What is Jesus teaching us here? Jesus talked more about money than heaven and hell combined. The reason it’s a sensitive subject is because money is such a big deal to all of us. Yahweh doesn’t NEED our money. His purpose for addressing money is a direct line to the matter of the heart. He cares so much about the condition of your heart He is willing to offend your mind. The question to ask here: Do I trust more in my resources? Or do I trust Him? 

We think our trust is in Him until we are put in a situation where our trust is confronted. Remember, he works all things for our good. In Romans 8, it says God is the searcher of the heart. He knows where our trust lies in the area of finances, relationships, jobs, and health. He is willing to allow circumstances in your life to build your trust in Him. That is what He most desires. An intimate relationship with Him where trust is never the issue.

“This entire intimacy with the Lord is about intentional surrender of every area of your life. It’s about hearing and obeying.”  Pastor Tim

Pastor Tim shared a beautiful testimony. I encourage you to go listen to the message. Today’s walk is about allowing Yahweh to expose the areas you lack in trusting Him. If it is money- bring this concern to Him. It is the only area in scripture that He says we can test Him. 

“It’s not the amount of money you give, it's what the amount means to you.” Pastor Tim
